Been to Caldwell several times & was thankful for the new paved parking spot that makes unloading much easier. I do miss the little gate to the porch a bit. Always a great place to get away to & did enjoy boating activities @ Big Lake a half hour away.

Absolutely amazing location. The cabin was exceptionally clean considering that it was being cleaned by citizens who had previously occupied it. Daily we saw herd of Elk in the meadow. We witnessed a Mexican Gray Wolf pack hunting elk. Glorious monsoon storms, fog, hail, spectacular sunrise, Buzzards in trees drying their wings after the storms. Lush growth in the meadow with wildflowers, mushrooms. Drove Route 276 along the East Fork Black River to Alpine, quite scenic. Many wild berries, riverbanks of wild sunflowers. Warm, informative reception by several forest rangers at the Alpine District Ranger Headquarters.

This is an amazing cabin with lots of space and amenities. The people that use it are very respectful in taking care of it. It is great to have a nice open meadow to enjoy. The solar power provided lights, a nice propane fridge and water for the toilet. We brought all our cooking gear, but the kitchen was actually well stocked.

Really enjoy this place. Rooms with a view is one of the most incredible programs our USFS is involved in.
